Hi, Here's a short status of IPW3945 in Debian: IPW3945 needs three things: firmware (binary blob), driver, and daemon (non-free): - firmware is in firmware-ipw3945, up-to-date with upstream (<http://bughost.org/ipw3945/>) at version 1.13 in etch/testing; maintained by the Kernel team - public packages for the driver may be found on personal web sites of various people, I've found Joachim Reichel, Russel Stuart, and Stefan Lippers-Hollmann to be providing such packages; I could update the more recent version based on a packaging mostly by Kel Modderman to the latest upstream version for my local needs, and it works like a charm, especially with the patches Kel has been adding recently; Daniel Baumann ITPed this driver, and Kel requested comments on his packages on the debian-mentors@ list - daemon is also available publicly from Joachim Reichel's site; Jurij Smakov ITPed the daemon, and started separate packaging efforts which he offered for comments as well recently; I've tested the packages of Jurij, and they work nicely (except for a point I believe is being addressed)
I believe the latest versions of the above packages are of release quality, and I wish they ship in etch as well. Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
